...... in the trichomes of both untreated and copper-treated plants. In copper-treated plants, MT2a mRNA was also expressed in siliques. Northern-hybridization studies performed on developing seedlings and leaves showed temporal variations of MT1a gene expression but not of MT2a expression. The possible implications of these findings for the cellular roles of MTs in plants are discussed. ......
